Why Women (And Men) Love This Picture So Much

If
this mannequin looked any more real, you’d have to give it cellulite
and love handles! This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Swedish mannequin from
the department store Åhléns. It’s shaped not like a starving waif, but
more like the women who shop there. When this picture started
circulating on the Internets it got a massive thumbs-up. Åhléns, what a
genius idea. Now if we could just do something about those wigs!

Thanks for signing up!
